When no publisher agrees to distribute your print publication, you're on your own, too. Unless there are state owned backbones, you can't play the censorship card.

Turn on updates during sleep mode. Put your PS4 to sleep. Done.

Really. I have an i5-3570K (not overclocked, GTX 1060) and can't run Battlefield 1, a game that is over 3 years old, on low settings in 1080p with a decent framerate. Thing is, alot of current gen games on PC use CPU heavily and a simple GPU upgrade wont remove the bottleneck that is an 8 year old CPU. I'm in a similar situation and got myself a PS4 Pro about a year ago because I didn't want to upgrade a mobo+cpu+ram combination that's still perfectly viable for most non-gaming usage.

Understanding of this illness is developing every day. The more we understand it, the better we can battle it. Someone who might die today can probably be saved in a month, because methods of treatment have evolved and increase chances of survival.

So flattening the curve is not only about preventing systematic overload of the health care system, but also buying time for research.

It was fine when Microsoft was forced to offer a browser choice for Windows, it's fine now when Google is forced to do the same.

No, Genesis 6:3 is before the flood.

Well, that was before god killed every living thing in sight. Noah obviously got a new deal with his 900+ years. ;)

Still, there are lots of wars going on:

Doesn't look like "nation state conflict" is too dangerous, too me.

The tool "atomic bomb" is bad.

You can't use it for anything but destruction, killing, maiming, poisoning and MAD power play. The tools to build the raw materials for the bomb are agnostic, but the bomb is not. And, yes, the two are separable. Manufacturing the raw material for the "heart" of an atomic bomb is not equivalent to engineering said bomb and testing it. Nor is engineering this bomb a requirement to engineering any other tools that are based on the scientific discovery of radioactivity.

Who needs spyware running on the application layer if firmware is a valid attack vector. You're fucked as soon as you plug in your computer or insert a charged battery.

> forcing them to upgrade by not releasing directx12 to win7

If you haven't upgraded to win7 yet, DX12 is the least of your problems.

I'm also not sure where this fairy tale about "only allowing installs from windows store" comes from. It's definitely a lie.

Nobody cares about everyday apps in Linux vs X. Linux solved that years ago with major DEs like KDE or Gnome without utilizing the web.

It's still about peripherals and special apps. Every peripheral you pick up at $electronics_store runs with windows, as long as you avoid those marked with the apple. Doesn't work like that with Linux. You still have spend time for research to find out what versions run with Linux. You have to compromise in either the quality, feature or money department (or a combination of those), because your selection is severely limited. No homo oeconomicus wants these compromises. Hell, even I don't want them. And special apps is what really broke the LiMux initiative. Now that Windows 10 comes with a Linux subsystem for devs, there's even less incentive to not pick it over Linux.

Linux owns the mobile and server markets. But desktop? No, absolutely not.

Pops up in so many Sci-Fi stories like that. And it's rather fitting with all our cloud services.
